6 AM

running (gravel,paving, dirt) 1:00:00 intensity: (30:00 @2) + (30:00 @4)
shoes: adios boost 2

Met BR 'racing team'folks at Forest Park, which is supposed to be for 'everybody' but only the fast showed up including the female winner of go marathon. I did a warmup, mostly on roads near traffic (another problem) with them that came near to my tempo pace, and then made a judgement call to do my workout on my own. The official workout was 2 x 2mi @ half marathon pace, which for the slowest of these folks in my judgement was 6 minute pace or under. It might have been fun to see if all out I could have kept up for one 2 mi., but prudence won again. Boring!

so did 2 x tempo segment on quiet gravel path w 1 min R, 9:36 out, 9:41 return, about 7:10 pace. And then a cool down in the Kennedy woods.

yoga 20:00 [1]

8 AM

running 35:00 [2]
shoes: saucony kinvara

warmup indoors and run to garden and back, usual route. did a little weeding.

wore new shoes I kind of bought to support BRR and think outside the box. Very different from what I'm used to. Kind of plastic feeling. The payoff is I can run on pavement comfortably, so I have to be very careful not to do much of that.
10 AM

biking 35:00 [2]
shoes: bike - ridley x-fire

Getting some biking in, in case I do duathlon in a week and a half! How's that for prep time. If it dosn't go, It'll still keep me off my hips and knees.

Hit some hills a little harder this time.
2 PM

garden work 15:00 [1]

shoveling. hot out there.

6 AM

running (mostly grass) 55:00 [1]
shoes: adidas boston boost #3

supposed to be 80 today, and immensely rewarding but taxing day yesterday: setup, visitation, service, tea, private burial, family gathering all focused around a lovely kind lady whose passion was nursing and her family.

so instead of driving nearly 3 hours total to run O in 80 degrees (not yet!), or closer woods, I kept it simple - recplex and back thru parks.
5 PM

garden work 40:00 [0]

Shoveling and wheelbarrowing dirt. Trying to take it easy.
